A Quantum Computer A Future Technology - 1,415 words
A Quantum Computer... a future technology Mike
Damewood By the strange laws of quantum mechanics,
Folger, a senior editor at Discover, notes, an
electron, proton, or other subatomic particle is
"in more than one place at a time," because
individual particles behave like waves, these
different places are different states that an atom
can exist in simultaneously. Ten years ago, Folger
writes, David Deutsch, a physicist at Oxford
University, argued that it may be possible to
build an extremely powerful computer based on this
peculiar reality. In 1994, Peter Shor, a
mathematician at AT&T Bell Laboratories in New
Jersey, proved that, in theory at least, a
full-blown quantum computer could factor ...

Mar. 14, 1879, HE then later died in Princeton,
N.J., Apr. 18, 1955. In the wake of World War I,
Einstein's theories, especially his theory of
relativity, seemed to many people to point to a
pure quality of human thought, one far removed
from the war and its aftermath. Seldom has a
scientist received such public attention for
having the ability for learning thet he had. in
1905, Einstein examined the phenomenon discovered
by Max Planck, according to which electromagnetic
energy seemed to be emitted from radiating obj ...

ALBERT EINSTEIN Does the word quantum mechanics
mean anything to you, well it should. What about
E=MC2, all of this are very important to you but
you may not know it. These theories were all
developed by a very intellectual person, Albert
Einstein. Albert Einstein is very important to the
development of our country and the world. Albert
Einstein started his life in Ulm, Germany, march
14, 1879. Einstein's parents were nonobservant
Jews. They moved from Ulm to Munich when Albert
was an infant. They had a family business of the
manufacture of electrical apparatus. The company
failed in 1894. So the family moved to Milan,
Italy. At this time Albert had decided to give up
his German citizenship. ...

Are Science And Religion One - 2,036 words
Are Science And Religion One? Are Science and
Religion One? Introduction I have identified the
axiom of mysticism (TAM) as the scientific,
religious and philosophical fact that there is
only one thing that exists. Because the meaning of
mysticism is commonly misunderstood this
definition needs some clarification. The
dictionary defines mysticism as a personal
relationship with God. Given this definition it is
easy to see why I have named the theory that,
everything existent and non-existent is God, as
the axiom of mysticism. If the theory is correct
then a personal relationship with God is mandatory
because God is all that can be experienced. After
being confronted with TAM for the first tim ...

1800s John Dalton, an English scientist did work
some work on gases, which lead him to the creation
of a complex system of symbols for all known
elements at the time. He took all the information
he had collected, along with the Laws of
Conservation of Mass, Definite Composition and
Multiple Proportions and updated Aristotle's
theory of matter with the Atomic Theory of Matter,
which stated: - All matter is composed of tiny,
indivisible particles called atoms. - Atoms of an
element have identical properties. - Atoms of
different elements have different properties. -
Atoms of two or more elements ...

Creativity: Beer Can Theory - 4,998 words
... how discrete memories become woven into a
worldview. Although this account focuses on
integration of the worldview through the emergence
of deeper, more general concepts, the principles
apply equally to integration of the psyche through
the purification of intentions and emotions. A
detailed account of the proposal can be found in
[Gabora 1998], and elaborations in [Gabora 1999,
2000], but the basic line of reasoning goes as
follows. Much as catalysis increases the number of
different polymers, which in turn increases the
frequency of catalysis, reminding events increase
concept density by triggering abstraction - the
formation of abstract concepts or categories such
as 'tree' or 'big' ...

Fathers And Sons - 1,652 words
Father's And Sons Turgenov's Fathers and Sons has
several characters who hold strong views of the
world. Pavel believes that Russia needs structure
from such things as institution, religion, and
class hierarchy. Madame Odintsov views the world
as simple so long as she keeps it systematic and
free from interference. This essay will focus on
perhaps the most interesting and complex character
in Fathers and Sons: Bazarov. Vladimir Nabakov
writes that "Turgenov takes his creature [B] out
of a self-imposed pattern and places him in the
the normal world of chance." By examining Bazarov
this essay will make this statement more clear to
the reader. Using nihilism as a starting point we

History And Philosophy Of Science - 1,657 words
History And Philosophy Of Science The world of
science, as we know it today, is a difficult
subject to grasp. So many new ideas are present
and these new ideas are not interchangeable. Some
parts do work together although as a whole they
dont fully coincide with each other. The three
basic ideas that science is now based upon come
from Newton, Einstein, and Hawking. I call these
ideas/theories new based on what I classify the
state of the scientific community of today. After
looking at what is going on in science, it is
clear to me that the scientific world is in a
crisis state. According to Kuhn, a crisis state is
when science is in the middle of choosing a
particular paradigm to work under ...

History Of Physics - 1,315 words
History Of Physics Physics began when man first
started to study his surroundings. Early
applications of physics include the invention of
the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who
built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical
mechanics in order to move the rocks and place
them on top of each other. It was not until during
the period of Greek culture that the first
systematic treatment of physics started with the
use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have
been the first scientist, and the first Greek
philosopher. He was an astronomer, merchant and
mathematician, and after visiting Egypt he is said
to have originated the science of deductive
geometry. He also discovered theorems of ...

In Civilization There Have Been Few Individuals That Leave A Legacy Of Ideas That Have Impacted On Society Forever Albert Ein - 1,493 words
In civilization there have been few individuals
that leave a legacy of ideas that have impacted on
society forever. Albert Einstein the German-born
scientist was one of the gifted few. Despite being
one of the greatest thinkers ever to grace the
world with his presence, Einstein flunked out of
grade school miserably (Poole). He was a terrible
English student, because of his poor grammar
skills (Poole). At one point a teacher actually
told Einsteins parents that he was mentally
challenged. He was actually recommended for
"special classes"(Brown). His parent did not
believe this, they could see that he was
different, but far from mentally challenged. There
perseverance was soon proved well wor ...

Laser Technology - 761 words
Laser Technology Laser Technology The laser is a
device that a beam of light that is both
scientifically and practically of great use
because it is coherent light. The beam is produced
by a process known as stimulated emission, and the
word "laser" is an acronym for the phrase "light
amplification by stimulated emission of
radiation." Light is just like radio waves in the
way that it can also carry information. The
information is encoded in the beam as variations
in the frequency or shape of the light wave. The
good part is that since light waves have much
higher frequencies they can also hold much more
information. Not only is the particle the smallest
light unit but it is a particle as wel ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - 532 words
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance The measurement of
nuclear and electron magnetic resonance on bulk
materials was made possible by Felix Bloch and
Edward Purcell and in 1952 they shared the Nobel
Prize in Physics for their work. Until then,
magnetic resonance was a measurable phenomena in
which atoms were shot through a magnet as a beam.
This was the work of Rabi. Therefore, the Nobel
Prize quality in Bloch and Purcell's work was not
in the theory of magnetic resonance itself, but in
the development of instruments which would measure
this phenomena in bulk material such as liquids
and solids. These two laboratories were uniquely
suited for this work. Bloch was a great quantum
mechanic and is credi ...

Quantam Computing - 2,105 words
Quantam Computing What is quantum computing?
Quantum Computing is something that could have
been thought up a long time ago - an idea whose
time has come. For any physical theory one can
ask: what sort of machines will do useful
computation? or, what sort of processes will count
as useful computational acts? Alan Turing thought
about this in 1936 with regard (implicitly) to
classical mechanics, and gave the world the
paradigm classical computer: the Turing machine.
But even in 1936 classical mechanics was known to
be false. Work is now under way - mostly
theoretical, but tentatively, hesitantly groping
towards the practical - in seeing what quantum
mechanics means for computers and computing ...
